# Working with Multiple Sessions
Manage multiple independent conversations simultaneously.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/multiple-sessions.go](recipe/multiple-sessions.go)
>
> ```bash
> go run recipe/multiple-sessions.go
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to run multiple conversations in parallel, each with its own context and history.
## Go
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)
func main() {
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer client.Stop()
// Create multiple independent sessions
session1, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "gpt-5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session1.Destroy()
session2, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "gpt-5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session2.Destroy()
session3, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "claude-sonnet-4.5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session3.Destroy()
// Each session maintains its own conversation history
session1.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a Python project"})
session2.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a TypeScript project"})
session3.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a Go project"})
// Follow-up messages stay in their respective contexts
session1.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I create a virtual environment?"})
session2.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I set up tsconfig?"})
session3.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I initialize a module?"})
}
```
## Custom session IDs
Use custom IDs for easier tracking:
```go
session, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{
SessionID: "user-123-chat",
Model: "gpt-5",
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(session.SessionID) // "user-123-chat"
```
## Listing sessions
```go
sessions, err := client.ListSessions()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, sessionInfo := range sessions {
fmt.Printf("Session: %s\n", sessionInfo.SessionID)
}
```
## Deleting sessions
```go
// Delete a specific session
if err := client.DeleteSession("user-123-chat"); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to delete session: %v", err)
}
```
## Use cases
- **Multi-user applications**: One session per user
- **Multi-task workflows**: Separate sessions for different tasks
- **A/B testing**: Compare responses from different models
